Whycouldn't it be n goodidea to have some wayof seeing how hard thoamateurs can hit?Quick hitting, on sits,ponded football, aswos done by tho nicin.hers of Sullivan's com.blnntlon in tho tho. 'ntres of tuwns wherespnrriug wouldn't go,Is mi exhibition thatalways brings applause. An eight or tonpound punching bag, such ns hniign up iuFrof. Wood's gymnasium, would be the kindto test the punching powers on. Tho winnerof tho competition to be tho ono who couldknock the bng the highest or send completelyover tho bar it is hung on with squuropunches (no push blows) tho greatest numberof times in a trial of sny threo minutes. HillyMorse, ono of tho strougest members of thoNow York Athletic Club, wos banging awayat tho football onco with his right und wasmuch surprised by a littlo exhibition nn expugilist gave him. The boxer showed Morsein less than a minute something tho amateurhnd always thought impossible how hecould hit the ball with his left just as hard nswith his right aud with much less exertion.Two efforts hava been mado within the lastweek to get on a match for tho clover ScottishAmerican Athletic Club boy, Jimmy Larkin.When Larkin won tho 120-pound amateurchampionship n year ago, he knocked outthreo strong opponents in one night. Anotherattempt will be mado to-morrow..Hilly Sexton says ho does not thiuk the series of billiard tournaments in contemplationwill bo arranged. " Slosson is too much of ahog as usual. He wants to have the best sories played in Chicago, nud he must manngoull the Western games. Think I'll bo matchedto-night or to-morrow with Daly to pinycushion caroms, 500 points un, for $4,000 asido, iu four weeks. Dnvo Gideon, the bookmaker, will bnck Dnly, and my partner, Hen.Stedekcr, will put up for we."Tho ouly way to revivo trotting in NowYork is to imitate, tho running ruco-course.Only a fortnight ago tho drivers on ono ofmo .cjibieru ijireuiv iruc&n uitriiuru, x umuk,gave ut) driving in overalls und donned regu.lar costumes. Tho change was a success. Astill better ono would be to drop heat racesnud adopt dashes at different distances. Mr,Hubert lionner, Johnny Murphy, L. II. Hurd,Hiram Smith and others say dashes wouldhavo a bad effect on tho brood of trotters.They surely-wouldn't think a horse a poorono that could trot two miles in 5 minutes, oreven iu S.14, as Mr. Grosscup's cross-inatohodteam did several years ago. Thero could bomilo, milo nnd a half and threo andfour or oven five-mile trotting rnccs, whichwould draw immenso crowds, bo finishedearlier aud pay better thnn theso wearysomobent races. Another good thing for tho trotting turf would be tho abolition of tho sulky.Havo trots in this country as thoy do inEngland to saddle. If tho Gentlemen'sDriving Club instead of giving tho $5,000they lately hung up for a throe duys'wretchedly attended meeting, had put thosome amount into a onoor two days' racemeet without barring out nny crnckB, butgiving thoir money to horsossomebody wantsto see, poople would have mado tho trip toFleetwood rather than to Jeromo." Kilroin may bo able to beat Smith on theline L judge by," says one of tho best jtftlgcsof fighters who frequents the H&ffmnn House." Old Greenfield was awny too clever forSmith when thoy mot in France, but thoyoung man could stand a lot of such punchesas Grccnllold could deliver and kept bustling the old man till ho had him tired. Itwasn't all Smith by any menus though, if 1am infonued correctly by eye-witnesses,when tho mob broke in tho ring. Mitchell,if ho woro anything liko as much of a fighteras ho is a boxer, could lick Jem Smith,and Kilrain seems to spar very wellwith Mitchell. I don't fancy Kilraiu'sbuild asa fighter. Most of tho great pugilists, Morrisey, Maco, Bayers, Goss nud Sullivan, wewill mention, aro woll under 0 foet. It's aphysiological fact that men with such longbackbones haven't got tho enduranco ofstackier-built folks. About Dempsey andHeagan? If Dempsey is Dempsey therehadn't ought to bo but ono in it, but thnt'stho way people thought onco when Edwardsand Collyer wero matched for tho first bottle. It's a mighty cruel fight tho middle,woights aro matched for, Bktn-tight gloves orbaro hands, Loudon prizo-ring rules, andprobably on a broad floor.A Slip of the Tongue.IfVon I. SI.

They took theform of what we cull familiarly v absenco ofmind,' though thoy' wero not fits of ahst motion, but rather moments of blank un.consciousness. Tho first attack was aboutsix weeks previous to our breaking up. Iwas out walking and studying in Murx'sGrove. It was just 0 o'clock, for I wos iu thoact of putting my watch in my pocket,when an awful sensntiou crept over moof moral fear. Something was taking placein my body which made my soul shudder, but which ntTected uono of my senses. Iwas conscious, to speak proiierly, but wasdevoid of physical sensation. And I wasconscious that consciousness was leaving me.It is very dillicult to make you understand bywords tho exact psychical condition whichensued. My reason went out, if you will al.low me to use tho expression. I stood therein tho wood transfixed with horror, and uvain strucglo cf the will tore me at the sametime. All knowledge of events and of thoexternal world passed owuy, und nothing re.nmiued but tho cloudy cogitation of mycondition. I know now that I keptsaying over to mysolf, with a gaopiug, automatic fierceness, as if to preservemy sense of identity. 'Here I am, walkiugbetween these trees. Here I am, hero 1 am.'llut it n ailed nothing. A blank supervened,in which there were dim, fitful gleams ofsomething having gono from mo forever.When I recou'red myself, I looked aboutand tried to recall how I got there. It wassome moments beforo my niiud recovered itsnormal action. This, then, I said to mysef, isincipient idiocy. No one can understand thehorror it left upon me. I knew that 1 hadovertasked my brain, and I tluug my booksaway, redoubling my exercise iu the open air,and asking permission, as you will rcmein.ber, to absent myself from the clm.ses for aweok. These attacks, however, becameperiodical, and when you discovered mo inmy room that morning I was just waking upto the fact that 1 was in thnt room.

When I enme to tho city I lived nt myaunt's houso. Sho was btill a rather gay societywoman, oud I was thrown into a fashionablecirclo, which, although distustcful to mo,helped to wean me from my melancholy introspection. It was during this interval, ofsocial relaxation thut I discovered how frivolous and hollow MUs Fentherstonaugh was.I think wo felt a deep contempt for eachother before I had been there'll week. Hutwo both concealed it for politic reasons." Thero was in my aunt's houso a girl cm.ployed originally as a chambermaid; a stout,healthy country girl, with red checks andround, dimpled arms, oud a hearty laugh thatrang through the mansion nnd had a strangecharm for me. Owing to her own clevernessaud honesty, us much as to my aunt's need ofsuch a person, she became the housekeeper.Mcr unmo was Judv, but that atrocity hadbeen softened into Ju, aud it was only as Juthat I know her for a long time From themoment that I becamo on inmate of the placethis girl attached herself to mo with a perti.uucious devotion that w us remarkable. Understand mo, it was tho modest, respectful attachment of a sincere friend. Sho appearedto couiperhend by some iustinct of her own,and almost immediately, the exact discren.ancy thnt existed between myself nnd thepeople uroiiud me, aud she managed tho affairs of the houso in such a manner that mytastes were quietly consulted und many ofmy whims gratified.The girl kept out of my sight as much nspossible, but sue exerted an influence overmo not of nn amorous, but of r. vital kind.Thero wns a wholesome Jnue flavor to herthnt refreshed me. I used td open mychamber of mornings when she was bustlingabout the houso, to listen to her laugh, foriu it there wns a subtle suggestion ofhealth that was like tho magnetismof outdoors. Whenever I come homelate, no mutter what the hour, I wassure that sho had been waiting for me tocome in.
